Hi Alex,

Is the search non-specific or there the correct peptides are not
expected to conform to any enzymatic rules?  If it is the latter you
should disable the NTT and NMC models in the TPP, since correct
peptides are not any more likely to have certain ends than the
incorrect peptides.  If it is the former then you should specify the
enzyme when you run InteractParser and that way the NTT and NMC info
will be recorded in the interact.pep.xml file despite the search being
nonspecific.  Does that make sense?
